"Plague Patrol" follows Lieutenant Skip Sanders and Sergeant Tom as they engage in frontline combat during wartime. When news arrives that enemy agent Bob Sloan is infiltrating the area to work with communist sympathizers, Sanders and Tom pursue him. The story escalates into a large-scale tank battle where American forces pursue the enemy, with infantry support and artillery engaging in combat maneuvers to eliminate the enemy positions. The soldiers successfully repel the attack, though the specific outcome of Sloan's capture remains unclear from the visible pages.

Joe Gates returns home from the war as a wounded hero, but carries a devastating secret: his injury wasn't inflicted by enemy fire. Now face-to-face with his wife Betty and the admiration of those around him, Joe must wrestle with his conscience and decide whether to confess the truth or live with the lie forever.

Lieutenant Skip SandersSergeant Tom Dean

Lieutenant Skip Sanders and Sergeant Tom Dean are ordered on what seems like an impossible mission: infiltrate enemy lines to capture a prisoner who may be infected with bubonic plague—evidence the Reds are using germ warfare. What follows is a tense nighttime patrol through hostile territory, complete with firefights, a desperate escape, and the grim discovery that changes everything about the mission's outcome. This war story captures the dark humor and brutal contradictions of combat, where soldiers must risk their lives to bring back what they came for.

Mass Murder!

Bob SloanSaytaZena

In this 1952 war story, Bob Sloan—a Yank operative working with South Korean patriots—races to stop a crucial Communist plot while navigating sabotage from within the resistance itself. When the mission to destroy an enemy ammunition dump goes dangerously wrong, Sloan finds himself captured and forced into a desperate gambit involving a radio broadcast, with allies Sayta and the revelation of a traitor named Zena threatening everything the patriots have fought for. Sloan's quick thinking and nerve under fire become the only chance to turn the tables before the situation spirals beyond recovery.

Tank Duel!
7 pp · War

A tanker crew answers an SOS from bogged-down infantry and finds themselves in the thick of a brutal firefight, calling in air support and fighting alongside the ground troops to hold back enemy armor and anti-tank guns. When the odds keep climbing and the enemy keeps coming, this is no quick rescue—it's a grinding, desperate battle where teamwork between tanks, infantry, and flyboys becomes the only thing keeping anyone alive. Raw, unglamorous combat where holding the line means everything.
